Cow Of fresh oxygen rendered the animals

ANECDOTES OF THE WAR.


Two Confederatcs Who Had No Interest
In the strugGIe-A Frightened skulker.
Mai j. H. Skelton related in our hearing
the following divertng incidents Of the san
culinary battle Of Sharpsburg or Antietam:
Gen. Barksdale drew his brigade up in line
and addressed them in substance as follows.
"Men, upon this battle hangs in all proba-
bility the destiny of the COnfederacy, the
destiny Of our beloved homes, the destiny Of
our property, the destiny of our fathers of
our mothers. OF our wives, of our sweethearts,
Then let every man of us be q hero in the
strife, and acquit ourselves like men. II there
be a man among you that possesses none of
these precious things that have just enume
rated and feels that he has nothing to battle
for, if he will step to the front l will give
him permission to retire to ignominious
safety"
At this juncture two lean, lank, dirt eat
ing looking shadows OF men stepped to the
front, and one of them in nasal tones drawled
out:
''Gen'rui, men him." pointing to his COM
rade, ''hain't got no home, no pappy, no
nanny, no wife, no sweetheart, an nary
niger; kin we go!'
The general looked ut them with whitening
to the woods in the rear, thundered: ''Git!'
and they got.
While the battle was at its height, and the
cannons' thunder fairly made the groun}
quake, and the shells and grapeshot shrieked
through the murky air like veritable de
mons. Gen. "Ranser Wright saw a fellow
running ont of the fight like a scared rabbit.
The general drew his pistol, and, putting
u, ,,i, TOD fha a,,t
soldier and shouted to him:
Go back to your place, sir: go back or III
shoot you"
The frightened skulker yelled back: "Shoot
and be hanged to you; them fellers hev got n
thunderin' sight bigger guns than YOU hev."
and, darting under the generals horses
oelly, incontinently took to his heels.
The above yarns Of Mai Shelton recall to
our mind the witty pun of an old johnny
Reb' on the march to Hagerstown, Nd, just
before tho battle Of Sharpsburg. Many Of
the soldiers were barefoot, and the soles OF
their feet We're worn and bleeding. Our
company, which had been detailed as rear
guard, had halted in the road for moments
rest. One old fellow, Joe McCracken. sitting
on the roadside, held up his feet for the cap
tain's inspection, and pointing to huge stone
bruises Oh either foot, said in lugubrious
tones:
"Capn, these arc the days that try mems
soles!'
The company groancd, while some Of them
cried: XII him on the spotr
Mccracken had his arm disabled by a
sharpshooter's bullet in the trenches around

To Siphon Lake Tahoe.

S. X. Mathewson, an expert civil engineer,
has been looking over the situation in this
state relating to practical irrigation of unre-
claimed land. The Reno Gazette reports him
as saying that he believes there Is enough
water in Lake Tahoe to irrigate 1000, 600
acres, or all Of the available land in western
Nevada. But he doesn't believe in running a
tunnel four or five miles to tap the lake He
believes that the water can be taken out of
the lake with an iron siphon, and ut one
twentieth Of the expense The siphon need
not be more than a mile and half long
The difference in the elevation of Lake Tahoe
and Carson valley being somewhat more than
400 feet, the power generated would be equal
20 hot less than 1900 horse power
This same principle could be applied not
only to Carson valley, but to Truckee Mead
ows, Mason valley and all other valleys in
the vicinity. By series of check valve mo-
tons the water could be taken out of the
siphon anywhere between the highest point
on the lake and the lowest in the valley. By
the uss Of this enormous water pressure all
kinds of manufacturing establishments could
be started, and the land of sand and sage
brush might not only be made to bloom and
blossom, but be covered with manufacturing
villages as in New England. Mr. Mathew
son says it is only question of time when
something of this kind will be done to re-
claim all our Nevada land.-Virginia City

.sNow, then" said a dealer, ''let us look at
tie matter in another light Is the adultera-

case of mustard the use of wheat -four is be-
lieved to be conducive to the health Of tho
consumer, and the tumerick used for color
ing is used in small quantities and cannot
hurt any one.
"Almond and cocoanut shells, with mealy
substances rs the base, are used in the manu-
facture of most all spices. There is no great
er profit to either the jobbing or retail trade
in selling the adulterated goods, but the lat
ter are kept and sold because of the demand
for cheaper prices than could be made on the
pure articles. Very likely, too, the reduced
spices would be more sought for at the same
price in many instances, if brought into com
petition with the strictly pure goods. II
may be taken for granted that no reputable
manufacturer will knowingly use any adul-
terants which are deletcrious in their nature
or injurious in the quantities used.
'.In coffee there is less adulteration now
than formerly, most Of the trade being in the
berry roasted and sold whole. The high
prices prevailing just now for the cheaper
cotfees las caused some demand for the chic
ory and roasted pea compounds, which are
sold ground, in bulk. The poorer class
of private consumers only buy this
kind of coffee at the stores. But
the advance in price has caused a demand for
chicory and peas among the large restaur-
ants. dispensing fragrant coffee at five cents

In conclusion, he stated that the whole sub

which was not fully understood by the pub
lie, and not always correctly stated by the
press. The very word ''adulterntion meant
